2 tablespoons mint, chopped (or dill) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 lemon, zest and juice of, grated |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
1/3 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped |
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water to boil. Stir in couscous and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let stand until water is absorbed, about 8 minutes. Fluff with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.

3. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
